I am offended not only because that is like being called "dude" by a bag of silicone chips, but what if I'm a female, ay. Want to make something of that ? C'mon, I'll kick your butt. O.K. that's probably how cowboys talk but does AZ or any woman get the same massage. What happened to feminism ....but perhaps I go on too far..but I do hate that message, probably because I grew up pulling for the Indians not the Cowboys. So there !!

Whether it's the Mavericks or the Nets or whoever, he's not going to get an offer that high. Now, if McHale gets involved... 2a) I've heard several people say they like the Shaq deal, before even RandBall said it. 2b) How much do you want to bet that Bill Simmons didn't even bother to see if anyone else was "dumb enough to defend the Shaq trade"? 2c) The fact that Bill Simmons supports the trade shows that it was a bad move. He can't even pick NFL games against the spread better than his wife. 1) Devean George is not costing himself millions if he approves the trade.

There is a reason that the Bird Rights are written into the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The Players Association is probably putting a little pressure on him to. This trade could cost him millions. He said he is okay getting traded if he gets a contract first. (Did you rip KG for doing this?) Plus if this trade doesn't go through the McCants probably have a better chance of making the playoffs. Devean George is actually doing the right thing.
